Drive A practical roadmap for ���scaling your analytic culture
The benefits of self-service analytics ���are clear
• Do I really need to learn a new tool? • Is this important? • What’s the benefit? • How do I get started? • What data is available? • How much time will this take? • What happens if I get stuck?
But any system is difficult to scale.
“We have to finish our data warehouse ���
before we can do any analytics.”
Red flag #1 #1
Really? ���Don’t wait for “perfect.” ���Start with what you have.
The Cycle of Visual Analytics is naturally iterative. Early results inform later decisions.
“We have self-service analytics, ���
so we don’t need IT.”
Red flag #1 #2
Really?
IT is critical to provide policies and systems that ���can support self-service at scale.
��� How do you provide the programmatic
support needed to scale self-service analytics?
Business IT
Requirements Planning Development Test User Experience Production Analytics
The traditional model fails business users and IT
Users must wait… and are rarely satisfied.
Why waterfall fails
Because this is what we thought you said…
Is this the red convertible you wanted?
Agile improves waterfall
Production Development
Planning
User Acceptance Test
Subject Matter Expertise
(requirements)
Keeping business ���closer to development improves quality, ���speed and flexibility. But it’s still ���a full time job.
What if Agile sprints were real time?
Promotion to Production
Development
Planning
User Acceptance Test
Subject Matter Expertise
(requirements)
Self-service development collapses phases of the ���agile process, allowing ���real-time iteration.
Tableau: a more agile Agile
• People over processes and tools
• Working analytics over comprehensive documentation
• Collaboration over requirements gathering
• Responding to change over following a plan
• Work in real time

This is change management
It will not work • If IT and Business are “at war” • If the organization thinks business users should
not have data • If the supporting technology is not nimble • If there is no champion
